A symposium was held on Sunday in Beijing to commemorate the 78th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the global war against fascism.

Li Shulei, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, attended the event.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the longest, largest, and most costly war of national liberation that the Chinese people fought against foreign aggressors in modern history, and it was also the first complete victory won by the Chinese people in their struggle for national liberation.

The great triumph in the war marked the full victory in the global war against fascism, re-established China as a major country in the world, and won the Chinese people the respect of all peace-loving people around the world, stressed the participants in the symposium.

Leaders of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee and the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, veteran soldiers and young students spoke at the symposium.

They recalled how the Chinese people fought the harsh war, shared their understanding of the significance of the victory, and expressed their commitment to peace and development.

Approximately 200 people attended the event, including relatives of veteran soldiers, generals, and martyrs who fought in the war, as well as foreigners who provided support for the Chinese people in the war or their relatives.
